To all whom it may concern.: y

Be it known that I, TONY L. ALLEGRETTI, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new anduseful Improvements in Water-Bags, of which thelfollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to that class of waterbags commonly known ashotwater bags and used to be applied to variousparts of the person togive relief from pain or for'- other purposes, and is more especially awater-bag of this nature which is designed to be applied upon the face or forehead. It consists in the novel features which will be pointed outhereinafter, and is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-Figure 1 is a view showing a device embodying this invention as appliedto the forehead. Fig. 2 is a View showing the device removed, and Fig. 3is a view showinga sectional detail of a modified form of construction.A represents the waterbag as a whole, which consists of awbroad upperportion a and depending lobes a a', forminga recess of* for the nose.sides with strings or ribbons b b, secured to ears b b and adapted to bepassed around the head and tied'to secure the bag in position. The earsb 'b'. are vpreferably placed about midway of theends, so that thestrings will when passed aroundK the`head securely hold the device inposition.l lThe bag is filled through an aperture C, which may be closedwith any suitable plug or cork, such as c.

Although it is intended that the bag may be made of a single thicknessofckmaterial in thel well-known manner, I have'shown in Fig. 3 amodified form of construction in which the'bag A is covered-by acoveringdd,

one member, d, of which,representing the up-Y per side of the bag, isofsuitable thickness and of suchnon-conducting material, as wool orfelt, that the heat may be `retained there- The bag is provided at the.

water and applied as shown, being securely held in place vby strings, orif it is 'desiredl to reduce the temperature it may be filled with Thisdevice is found to be an efticient means4- :ice-water and similarlyapplied. While itis to apply heat to thehead in case of headache orother pains and isequally useful when itis desired to causeperspiration, as for various facial treatments.

kllhile the description and ldrawings show the preferred embodiment ofmyl invention,

Ido not wish to limit the same to the precise construction shown; but

What I claim, and desire to :secure by Le'tters Patent, is-L 1.Akwater-bag adapted'to be applied .to

the upper portion of the face, which comprises a water-tight oblong.receptacle aportion of which is adapted to cover the forehead and hasone of the upper corners extended with a filling-aperture therein, and ay plug for closing said aperture, depending 'lobes made integral-withthe lower edgeof the receptacle havingacurved portion thered f f betweenfor the reception of the nose, ears Y made integral with the endsof theoblong receptacle about midway of its width, and'` receptacle tothehead, `substantially as destrings attached to said ears for binding thescribed.
